5. DUAL OCCUPANCY DEVELOPMENT
Council is proposing to amend the planning provisions relating to dual occupancy development.
Dual occupancy development allows owners an opportunity for more affordable homes on their site or to redevelop their site for a new home and for the sale of the second dwelling.
WHAT IS A DUAL OCCUPANCY?Dual occupancy is the development of two houses on one block of land in either an attached or detached layout. Kogarah Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012 defines this type of building in two forms:
A dual occupancy (attached) as “2 dwellings on one lot of land that are attached to each other, but does not include a secondary dwelling”.
A dual occupancy (detached) as “2 detached dwellings on one lot of land, but does not include a secondary dwelling”.
Dual occupancies are also known as a duplex.
A secondary dwelling means a self-contained dwelling that:
(a) is established in conjunction with another dwelling (the principal dwelling), and
(b) is on the same lot of land as the principal dwelling, and
(c) is located within, or is attached to, or is separate from, the principal dwelling.
Secondary dwellings are also known as granny flats or extended family units. and are restricted in size up to 65 square metres. There are no changes proposed to the provisions relating to secondary dwellings.
Currently attached dual occupancy is allowed in the R2 - Low Density Residential zone on an allotment of 850 square metres or greater and detached dual occupancy is allowed on corner block of 650 square metres or greater.
